About this title  

"Horror movies don't get much better than this." – Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

Horror master John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York) delivers "a masterful exercise in claustrophobic suspense… [with] elaborate special effects [that] set a high standard for films that followed" (TV Guide). Kurt Russell's iconic and tense performance drives this chilling version of the classic The Thing.

In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror… and becomes one of them.

Why We Love It

“With this latest edition, Scream Factory pulls out all of the stops to give fans a royal treatment for John Carpenter’s masterpiece.” – Cinema Crazed

“If you’re a fan of this awesome movie it doesn’t get any better than what Scream Factory has for you here” – Agents of Geek

“That’s an amazing amount of content. Shout! Factory deserves a 'We’re not worthy!' bow from fans of The Thing for this set.” – Flickering Myth

“We’ve gotten a plethora of different home video releases of John Carpenter’s The Thing over the years, but nothing like what Scream Factory has delivered with this beautiful 2-disc set. This is definitely the pinnacle of all the home video releases. To be honest, nothing even comes close to this gem of an offering right here!” – Alien Bee.net

“With a great new transfer and more bonus materials (many of them brand-new) than you can fire a blowtorch at, this isn't just a great new release of The Thing, it's pretty much the definitive home video release of the movie – sure to keep fans entertained for hours upon end. This is one of the best Blu-ray releases of 2016, and it's a must-own for any serious movie collector.” – High-Def Digest
